phpBB theme redesigned

dojo · 04-21-2006, 01:50 PM

Hello.

I have finished some redesign work on one of my phpBB sites Webmaster Tips. I would like to ask you to please tell me how this forum looks to you and where could I improve it more.

Thank you for your time.

The load time was so slow. I wanted to cry...Still loading, guess I'll type while I feel as if I have warped back to 1998 and love 26.6k. The design is amazing. I love it. I would tell the consumer however to look at speed, especially for a forum.

It loaded a little slow for me too and I've got a cable modem. I did like how you took the icgstation template and made it your own. You could just see if there are ways to improve the loading. Of course, it looks like your servers are in Romania and I'm in the USA so that may have something to do with it.

Looks great to me!

Loading time was fine for me. I like the design. There is too much description below each and every category of your forum due to which they look cluttered.

Loading time was fine for me, I like the continous use of the static bars everywhere.

Thank you all for the comments. I might have some loading problems because we're in a far country ...

I made some more changes to the layout. Looking forward to more feed-back ...

Excellent layout and a top notch job of hacking phpbb into a decent forums.

Load was ok but not horrendous.

Loaded extremly fast and at first glance looks like VB. Looked at the bottom and it said heavily modded IGStation, it doesn't even look like IGStation at all! Awsome work, nice job

Regards,

Thank you for the nice reviews.

I have spent 20 full hours of working on the theme again and the forums look even more unique. I still have the iCGstation link but it's almost gone as a theme.

Looking forward to more criticism. Please help me spot errors and other problems.

Here's the link again: www.wtricks.com

Again, thank you in advance
